0. Functional diversity- The &quot;Functional diversity&quot; project is based on the FD package, which can compute different multidimensional FD indices. It also contains other useful tools for functional ecology, e.g. trait-based community assembly via maximum entropy models.

1. related - Genetic relatedness in R- An R package that allows users to estimate pairwise relatedness of individuals based on codominant molecular markers, and also has simulation functions for comparing the performance of different estimators and for testing the resolution of a data set.

2. Rwave: time-frequency analysis in 1-D- Rwave is a library of R functions which provide an environment for the time-frequency analysis of 1-D signals. It was originally written for Splus by Rene Carmona, Bruno Torresani, and Wen L. Hwang.

4. Circular Statistics- This is the circular package build over the R port of the CircStats package by Ulric Lund from 'Topics in circular Statistics' (2001) S. Rao Jammalamadaka and A. SenGupta, World Scientific.
